Durango owes its greater precipitation to the fact that <br /> <br />it is closer to the mountains than Ignacio. Pagosu Springs is with- <br /> <br />in these mountains and its greatly increased precipitation confirms <br /> <br />the general tendency. Data from these stations are given in Table 1. <br /> <br />7 <br />
